Every year, around 600,000 people in Germany alone visit the emergency room due to fall accidents according to the Federal Statistical Office. These falls can occur both in private settings as well as in public buildings or outdoors. Falling on stairs can have dramatic consequences, such as hip fractures or femoral neck fractures. In this article, we will explore various options on how to make stair climbing safer.
Lighting is an important topic to prevent falls. Make sure your stairs are adequately lit to reduce the risk of falling. This way, you can more easily see where the first and last step are and if there are any objects on the stairs.
In addition to adequate lighting, it is recommended to install a contrast strip on each step to increase the contrast between the individual steps. At the same time, one can also consider whether to install a handrail on both sides.
If your bedroom is on the 1st floor, it might be a good idea to keep a flashlight in your drawer – in case the power goes out.
